One of the questions that surprised me most was this: “Mommy, if Jesus comes to live inside my heart, will I explode?”“ No! ” I proclaimed as the children and I headed to the Nile River for a few of them to be baptized that day. Then I thought about the question a bit more.“ Yes, if Jesus comes to live in your heart, you will explode.” That is exactly what we should do if Jesus comes to live inside our hearts. We will explode with love, with compassion, with hurt for those who are hurting, and with joy for those who rejoice. We will explode with a desire to be more, to be better, to be close to the One who made us. .Katie J. Davis
About This Quote
The idea of Jesus exploding in our hearts is that when Jesus is in our hearts, we will be so overwhelmed by His love for us, His desire to take care of us, and His disappointment in us that we will explode in the emotions. Our emotions will feel so much more than they do when we are alone. We will be so overcome by the emotions that come from Jesus living in our hearts that we will burst into tears at the thought of what Jesus has done for us.
